Cuisinart Custom 14 Cup Food Processor, Brushed Stainless Steel

We owned our last Cuisinart food processor for 25 years and loved it. When the top of the cover broke we went to see if we could replace it which we could not. My husband was afraid the new ones would not be as good or strong as our old one but he was so wrong! This far exceeds our expectations, the blades are very sharp, the motor is as strong or stronger and it truly work well! The plastic container is so high grade and we love that now the top is attached to the container which is so much better than the older design. We could not be happier, so worth the investment and look forward to using it the next 25 years!

This product has come in extremely handy! I needed it for a recipe I had decided, spur of the moment to make, and since then...I have gotten this processor out almost daily! It works for everything from processing things down to a fine powder, to larger chunks done in just seconds! It literally can take longer to wash the food than it does to process it!!! This is a great product! Also, I tend to keep appliances in the boxes they came in...and while this may seem odd to review, it matters! I am impressed at how easily this appliance can be repackaged and have the box close as simply as it does. Great packaging! Altogether a wonderful product. Easy to use, easy to clean, easy to store. Win/Win!!!

I picked this up after seeing great reviews on America's Test Kitchen. My current food processor is a Ninja brand with 3 different sized containers, each featuring their own unique blade set. It was a bit of a pain to have to store 3 containers it wasn't unusual for some food to end up on the motorized part. The 14-cup is a great upgrade in terms of power, though it takes some learning since most of my early uses turned everything to confetti. This thing has a ton of power and has handled everything I've given it, tomatoes, carrots, chickpeas, celery. It includes a slicer attachment which can get super thin slices, very handy for meal prep or making pickle chips. I haven't used the shredder attachment yet, but I long for the day when I bring home a block of cheddar and monterey jack cheeses to make Mac N Cheese with. The standard blade works great too, but it's deadly sharp so be careful.

This is much nicer than the previous food processor that I owned. It broke a while ago and I wondered why people like food processors so much? I decided to make my dog's food again and thought I would try another food processor. This one is more expensive than the last one I had but very worth it. Its very quiet and handles big jobs quickly with pretty even chopping.

I bought this a few weeks ago to replace a slightly smaller Cuisinart food processor that had worked faultlessly for 30 years until small parts of its plastic bowl finally cracked and thebvery old bowl could not be replaced. I’ve shredded and I’ve mixed. Both functions work perfectly with obvious power even greater than its predecessor. I wish that a large dull plastic beater were available, but the blade seems to work ok for most mixing purposes. I fully expect that this food processor will outlive me ;-).

The food processor works well for what I have used it for so far, which was to make hummus. First it is way too heavy at nearly 14lbs. The instructions recommend putting it on a low shelf bc if it fell on you you'd need a trip to the emergency room. I find the mechanics of putting on the lid and lining it up correctly to be tricky. My old Braun, which broke after 34 years, had little arrows that you lined up to put it on more efficiently. It works well enough and I hope to have it for a long time. Or for as long as I can pick it up- haha.

I really have been enjoying this, I have used it like 30 times at the last in the last month, I've barely put it away because I go from one thing to the next and just pull it straight out of the dishwasher or dish drainer for its next project. The only thing I wish is that there were variable speeds, sometimes I want to start slower or go faster. But overall it has been a win and I love it.

I dislike that the website stated and displayed a spatula for the processor. When I opened the box the spatula was missing. The box did not display separately the items inside. The box displayed the processor put together. The spatula was the deciding factor in my ordering a Cuisinart or KitchenAid food processor. This is false advertising and very disappointing.

This is my fourth food processor over several decades and I am disappointed in the manual and the setup. I never could figure out how to fit the cover and the pusher to the work bowl and the manual was worthless. Thank goodness my neighbor was available to help else I would have had to grate 3 pounds of potatoes by hand. An addendum with assembly instructions would be very user friendly.

I did not receive the correct food processor. I paid for a 14-cup (on sale) and they sent me an 11-cup. They refuse to send me the correct one and now I have to bring this incorrect one back to the store and can't even exchange it for what I originally ordered. Might be great but I won't know until it goes on sale somewhere else.
